Re: The people who create video game music are underrated!

Sonic (The music for this game and its many sequels was nothing short of brilliant! If I was a musician, I would be more than willing to pay for sampling some of the jams on those games. BTW...does anyone remember the Carnival nights zone? That was just insane!) Don't shoot me, but I could hear Gwen Stefani doing some vocals to that one.

Super Mario( Needs no explanation. Each and every one of the Mario games contained music that we will never forget.)

Mortal Kombat ( I just love the intensity in most of the theme music for the MK games.)

Street Fighter 2 ( I love how there was a different theme song to represent each fighter, and their place of origin. Cammy's stage was always my favorite. Others included Dhalsim's, Blanka's, and Zangief's. T.Hawk's was cool too. )

There are others...but those are the games that really take me back...

Just listening to some of the music on these makes me think how did these guys come up with this stuff?

I mean...some of the music was so SICK! and crazy...in the best way!

I'm sure you guys can probably think of more recent examples...as I left all of my game playing in the 90s.

What's some of you guys' favorites? Share your thoughts on these...or whichever games contain some of your favorite tunes.

If there are any of you out there who frequent this board who know or are acquainted with any of the people responsible for producing vg music...give them a pat on the back and remind them that their work is appreciated.

Love your favs mate.

MK, SF, Sonic, all def in my top 5.

Some good links to music in this thread.

My all time fav is the music for Lei-Lei's stage in Vampire Saviour. That music is awesome. I would get rather unhappy if I did not get to fight her when I played.

Duck Tales for NES, the music from the moon level...

This video game music is so popular even 20 years later that dozens of people on youtube have created their own versions of the moon theme. This one is my personal favorite from a guy who made a symphony version...
